I'm new here - Saying "Hi"

Real quick rundown:

Live in Atlanta.
Commute to work about 15 miles.
Drive 150-ish miles every 2 weeks, highway.

I own and drive a '05 HAH. (Freakin awesome! Oh the power!)
I own and used to drive a '01 Insight w/AC. (Oh the MPG!) (Selling this one.)

I used to make that 150-ish mile trip as a daily commute. During those days I averaged around 60 mpg in the Insight. Could get it to 70 with a lot of tricky driving; drafting, coasting, etc.

Got the HAH after I moved and no longer have the commute. I wanted a car with some "*****" after driving the Insight. The HAH has *****. My MPG is pretty sad right now; probably because I'm still enjoying the power.... I'll drive it gently soon though.

Oh yeah, and my SO drives a '05 Prius. I get to drive it some too. So, all in all I have experience with 3 rather different hybrid cars... sheesh, that has to be above average.

Welcome to
GreenHybrid. Sounds like you are a well rounded hybrid driver. Most people only get to try one or two. So when will you fit in time to try the Mariner, and Escape, and.....
